description | We report the first confirmed evidence of a feral introduced population of Brotogeris versicolorus (Statius Müller, 1776) in Guayaquil city, Ecuador, as part of the World Parrot Count led by City Parrots. A total of 216 individuals were counted, at two places within the city, but no direct evidence of breeding was found. A previously unpublished photograph suggesting nesting activity is also presented, along with brief comments on previous and additional observations and the conservation implications of this recently established feral species. |
